The Board of Trustees, BoT, of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has dismissed allegations of forgery and signature cloning made by the party’s National Secretary, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, as false and baseless.
This is contained in a statement issued by the BoT Chairman,
Senator Adolphus Wabara, in Abuja on Thursday.
Anyanwu had alleged that his signature was forged on the
correspondence transmitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission,
INEC, regarding the party’s forthcoming elective convention.
Wabara said that the BoT would have preferred to refrain
from engaging in matters of internal administrative procedure in the public
domain.
He, however, said that the gravity of the allegation and its
capacity to mislead party members and the general public necessitated a clear
and factual clarification.
“It is on record that the said INEC notification letter was
jointly signed by the National Chairman, Umar Damagum, and Anyanwu on August
25, during the 102nd meeting of the National Executive Committee, NEC, of the
PDP.
“The signing took place in the presence of critical organs
and stakeholders of the party, including members of the PDP Governors’ Forum,
the BoT, and other NEC members who witnessed the process,” Wabara said.
He said that subsequent to that, Anyanwu was formally
inaugurated as the Secretary of the Contact and Mobilization Sub-Committee for
the 2025 National Convention.
Wabara added that in that capacity, Anyanwu co-signed
official communications of the sub-committee, including letters of appointment
issued to its members, alongside the Sub-Committee Chairman, Sen. Douye Diri,
Governor of Bayelsa State.
